Fraggle Rock, the movie

I know some of you dorks out there will get all excited about this. Fraggle Rock, the movie will be about the Fraggles travelling to outer space. Brian and Lisa Henson, the son and daughter of creator Jim Henson, will be producing.

Also, Ahmet Zappa will be involved with the project. I'm not sure if he'll be making the music or just producing.

The 1980s cult hit TV show is being developed by Ahmet Zappa -- younger son of Frank Zappa -- into a full-length live-action musical fantasy starring the classic characters.

"(Zappa) recently created his own fantasy property ('Mighty McFearless'), and we had him in to talk about books and movies," said Lisa Henson, who serves as co-CEO of the Jim Henson Co. with her brother, Brian.
